1 Use of UAS in Research and Education Kelly A. Rusch, Ph.D., P.E. Vice President for Research and Creative Activity-NDSU James L. Grimsley Associate Vice President for Research OU Norman Campus 11/14/16 APLU

2 An Evolving UAS Environment Prior to December 30, 2013 universities involved in UAS education and research December 30, FAA Test Sites selected Focused on integration of UAS with the national airspace May 9, 2015 FAA National Center of Excellence announced [ASSURE] May 4, 2016 FAA interpretation memo for educational use of suas August 29, 2016 Part 107 Rules for suas The FAA Reform and Reauthorization Act of 2012 contained provisions directing the FAA to take steps toward safely integrating UAS into the NAS by September /14/16 APLU

7 FAA Part 107 Rules [Operational Conditions/Restrictions] Weight must be less than 55 lbs. [suas] Operated during daylight hours If UAS has appropriate collision lighting can be operated into civil twilight hours Unaided visual-line-of-sight operations Cannot be operated over any person not part of the operation nor under a covered structure However does allow for a payload [UAS + payload must remain below 55 lbs.] Must yield right of way to other vehicles Must be operated at <400 feet Must have groundspeed less than 100 mph Must not operate in Class B, C, D, and E airspace without ATC permission Must not be operated from a moving vehicle unless operation is in a sparsely populated area 11/14/16 APLU

8 FAA Part 107 Rules [Pilot/Certification Requirements] Operators must obtain certification as a remote pilot Or supervised by a remote pilot Pilot requirements Minimum of 16 years old Must pass an aeronautical knowledge test at a FAA-approved knowledge testing center or have a non-student Part 61 pilot certificate [and take a training course] Clear the Transportation Security Administration security and threat assessment Responsibility of operators Must contact FAA within 10 calendar days of an operation that results in serious injury involving hospitalization or loss of consciousness/or property damage >$500. Several requirements contained within Part 107 can be waived (e.g. night operations, altitude restrictions, etc.) 11/14/16 APLU

9 FAA Part 107 Rules [Actions/Items no Longer Required] No manned pilots license (instead Part 107 requires a remote pilot airman certificate with a small UAS rating ) No medical certificate (operator must self-certify that he/she is capable of operating safely) No Notice to Airman No insurance requirement No airworthiness (operator is responsible for the airworthiness of the system 11/14/16 APLU

10 FAA Part 107 Rules [What is not covered] No provisions regarding privacy rights of third parties FAA has stated it never extended its administrative reach to regulate the use of cameras or other sensors extraneous to the airworthiness or safe operation of the aircraft in order to protect individual privacy 11/14/16 APLU

11 What Does this Mean for Universities? [Legal and Ethical Questions] First Amendment Evolving issues such as right to record Journalists using UAS Fourth Amendment University law enforcement use of UAS (security, law enforcement, etc.) Interplay between First and Fourth Amendment (i.e. the courts have held that law enforcement does not have to shield their eyes when in public places Property rights Ambiguity involving aerial trespass and property rights at lowest altitudes of airspace Restricting UAS operation by restricting where operator stands or where take-off and landing occurs Privacy / Nuisance / harassment / surveillance Addressing surveillance of human subjects in research Liability for out-of-state operations 11/14/16 APLU

12 What Does this Mean for Universities? [Policies] Policy Statement [pending Faculty Senate approval]y Statement The operation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) is regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and relevant state law. The term UAS includes all types of unmanned aircraft including what are commonly called drones and model aircraft. North Dakota State University employees and students must comply with FAA requirements, state law, and any other locally applicable laws or regulations for flight operations of unmanned aircraft systems over NDSU property or for any university related activity. NDSU will establish procedures to ensure compliance with these legal obligations and to reduce the risks of UAS flight operations to safety, security and privacy. The procedures can be obtained from the NDSU UAS web page. As part of its commitment to growing the use of UAS for research and education, and its commitment to ensuring that such use is being conducted according to the regulations, NDSU has established a UAS Advisory Panel. The UAS Advisory Panel provides oversight for the establishment and maintenance of the UAS procedures. They also review the proposed use of UAS for research and education purposes to consider any privacy or ethics related concerns. 11/14/16 APLU

13 What Does this Mean for Universities? [Procedures] Applies to: NDSU employees and students as part of university employment and/or university activities Operation by any person [including model aircraft] on or above NDSU property Hiring for or contracting for any UAS services by a NDSU unit 11/14/16 APLU
